online health | 5 | | portal for eligible members in the State's Employees Group | 6 | | Insurance Program, the
Teachers' Retirement Insurance Program, | 7 | | the College Insurance Program, and the Local
Government Health | 8 | | Plan; and
| 9 | | WHEREAS, The RFP did not include a business enterprise | 10 | | goal; and
| 11 | | WHEREAS, A vendor conference held on November 12, 2015 was | 12 | | attended by multiple
potential bidders and the State's | 13 | | procurement consultant, Deloitte Consulting; and
| 14 | | WHEREAS, Only one company submitted a proposal in response | 15 | | to the RFP by the due
date of November 30, 2015; and | 16 | | WHEREAS, On January 28, 2016, CMS published a notice | 17 | | identifying the winning
vendor as Morneau Shepell Limited and | 18 | | estimating the total contract value, over a 10-year term,
at | 19 | | $94 million; and
| 20 | | WHEREAS, The contract was approved by the CMS Director on |
| | | HR0522 | - 2 - | LRB100 13301 MST 27827 r |
|
| 1 | | May 3, 2016, with an
effective date of May 3, 2016; and
| 2 | | WHEREAS, The contract contains Performance Standard | 3 | | Guarantees that set forth
performance measures that the vendor | 4 | | must comply with or risk reductions in administrative
fees; | 5 | | therefore, be it
| 6 | | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE | 7 | | HUNDREDTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that the | 8 | | Auditor
General is directed to conduct a performance audit of | 9 | | the procurement and administration of the
contract with Morneau | 10 | | Shepell; and be it further | 11 | | RESOLVED, That this performance audit include, but not be | 12 | | limited to, the following
determinations: | 13 | | (1) Whether the scope of the Request for Proposals that | 14 | | was issued in November
2015 was adequate to meet the | 15 | | State's needs and written in a manner to allow
adequate | 16 | | competition on this multi-million dollar initiative; | 17 | | (2) Whether the time frame for response to the RFP was | 18 | | adequate to allow for
participation by potential vendors; | 19 | | (3) The rationale for not including a business | 20 | | enterprise goal in the solicitation; |
| | | HR0522 | - 3 - | LRB100 13301 MST 27827 r |
|
| 1 | | (4) The rationale for awarding the contract to Morneau | 2 | | Shepell rather than re-issuing
the RFP in an attempt to | 3 | | obtain adequate competition; | 4 | | (5) The cost of the procurement, including amounts paid | 5 | | to the State's procurement
consultant; | 6 | | (6) Whether CMS has reviewed the vendor's compliance | 7 | | with the Performance
Standard Guarantees and, in | 8 | | particular, the standards applicable to the accuracy of
| 9 | | participant transactions; and | 10 | | (7) Whether there have been any reductions in the | 11 | | vendor's administrative fee as a
result of any failure to | 12 | | meet Performance Standard Guarantees; and be it further | 13 | | RESOLVED, That the Department of Central Management | 14 | | Services, the vendor, its
subcontractor(s), and any other | 15 | | entity having information relevant to this audit cooperate | 16 | | fully
and promptly with the Auditor General's Office in the | 17 | | conduct of this audit; and be it further
| 18 | | RESOLVED, That the Auditor General commence this audit as | 19 | | soon as possible and
report its findings and recommendations | 20 | | upon completion in accordance with the provisions of
Section |
